Neural Bases of Speech and Language Test 1 Flashcards
the study of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system
Neurology
study of structure
anatomy
the study of the nervous system’s structure
neuroanatomy
study of function
physiology
the study of the nervous system’s functions
neurophysiology
study of diseases
pathology
the study of nervous system dieases
neuropathology
a series of organs, brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves that go into your muscles
nervous system
brain and spinal cord
central nervous system
everything to the outside of the brain, nerves and cranial nerves
peripheral nervous system
the removal or repair of structures that impair normal nervous system functioning
neurosurgery
the use of radiation therapy for nervous system tumors
neuroradiology
normal and pathological development of the nervous system
neuroembryology
to speak the language of neurologists and better communicate with them. we might be working with neurologists in a hospital and it will make things easier if you can both understand each other.
need for neurological training in SLP’s
to choose appropriate testing instruments placed on neurological injury. to predict problems patients are likely to have. to document change/efficacy of treatments. to plan effective treatment,
need for neurological training in SLP’s
a universal human experience, sometimes permanent or transient that affects the health and functioning
disability
encephalitis/meningitis (brain infection/ infection in membranes that surround brain)
Inflammatory diseases
Huntington disease (inherited diseases that eventually causes death) (your brain cells die/ “atrophies” which means to “waste away”
Systematic CNS atrophies
Parkinson disease (extrapyramidal tract is not working correctly and that tract affects movement)
Extrapyramidal disorders
Alzheimer disease (progressive neurological disorder (keeps going and doesn’t stop/no cure))
other degenerative diseases
Multiple sclerosis (nerves are covered in Myelin to keep electrical impulses in) ( in this diseases myelin is not on nerves correctly and has so nerves have gone array)
demyelinating CNS diseases
Epilepsy, Stroke (sudden)
Episodic/Paroxysmal disorders
an example of this group of believers called radical localists. they believe that certain areas of the brain and only certain areas perform certain or specific mental functions.
Phrenology
these people believe certain parts of the body were responsible for certain mental functions
radical localists and localists
these people believe certain parts of the body were responsible for certain functions as they are interconnected and work cooperatively.
connectionists
these people believe that the whole brain is involved in mental functioning
holists
viewing the anatomy of the brain (CT, MRI, Angiography)
structural imaging
viewing the physiology of the brain (PET, EGG, and MEG)
functional imaging
Method of imaging the structure of the vascular system
Iodine injected into this system
X-rays used to image the vascular system
angiography
the location of brain activity when a stimulus is introduced
spatial resolution
the time between a stimulus being presented and the brain’s response to that stimulus
temporal resolution
divides structure into left and right portions
sagittal section
divides structure into front and back portions
coronal section
divides structure into upper and lower portions
transverse section
from a high position
superior
from a low position
inferior (caudal)
toward the stomach
anterior (ventral)
toward the back
posterior (dorsal)
away from the body’s midline
lateral
toward the body’s midline
medial
point nearest limb’s attachment
proximal
point farthest from limb’s attachment
distal
toward the outer surface
peripheral
toward the center
central
on the same side
ipsilateral
on the opposite side
contralateral
bringing structures together
adduct
moving structures apart; taken away/kidnapped
abduct
bending a joing
flexion
straightening out a joing
extension
face/ventral surface is up
supine
face-ventral surface is down
pronate
structures that can be seen through human eyes
anatomical approach
lies inferior to cerebral hemispheres and continuous with brainstem. consists of medulla, pons, and midbrain. controls basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat etc., has motor and sensory pathways that run between brain and spinal cord.
brainstem
lies posterior to pons. involved in coordination and precision of fine motor movements.
cerebellum
includes thalamus, subthalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus
diencephalon
relay station for sensory fibers
thalamus
regulates and coordinates motor functions
subthalamus
